♂ 225-lb barbell, 70-lb dumbbells, 20-lb medicine ball to a 10-foot target

Scaling:
Today’s pyramid workout is going to be a grind with each movement effectively fatiguing the following movement. For example, the rope climbs will affect your grip during the deadlifts, while the deadlifts will tax your legs for the wall-ball shots, and so on. Advanced athletes can push to finish under 12-13 minutes. However, expect most to complete today’s workout in the 15- to 20-minute range. Choose scaling and loading options that allow you to keep moving consistently. Use a load for the deadlifts that will allow you to complete them in 3 or less sets the first time through.

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Don’t underestimate today’s workout. The medicine-ball clean is deceptive and very effective. The load should be light and allow you to perform at least 20 reps unbroken. Some athletes may be able to go unbroken on all sets. Even though the ball is light, don’t cheat the movement. Focus on hitting full hip extension and pulling your body under the ball on each rep. Sneaking under the ball before full hip extension may be faster, but that technique will only get you so far when it comes to a squat clean with a heavy barbell. Less-experienced athletes should reduce the load and reps of the cleans as well as the difficulty of the double-unders.
